NOTABLE CAST FOR ) “MALE AND FEMALE” Notable casts have always been features of productions by Cecil B. DeMille, but in “Male and Female”, the Paramount-Artcraft screen ver- sion of Sir James M. Barrie’s famous, play, “The Admirable«Crichton,” the master director has fairly outdone himeelf. For the important roles in this picture, which will open a four day run at the Elko theatre tonight some of the most prominent players in filmdom have been assembled. Thomas Meoghan, leading ‘man for Billie Burke, Marguerite Clark, and other stars, has the part of Crichton, the extraordinary English butler who becomes practically a king. Gloria Swanson, who scored so decisively in “For Better, For Worse,” is Lady Mary, the lord’s daughter, who falls in love with Crichton.. Lila Lee, Paramount-Artcraft star, is her ser- vant-maid rival. Theodore Roberts has a characterigtic role. Others in the cast are Raymond Hatton, Bebe Daniels, Mildred Reardon, Robert Cain, Edna Mae Cooper, and Guy Oli- ver. A feature of presentation of “Male and Female” at the Elko. tonight, tomorrow; ‘also Fridayand -Saturday will be the musical.acéompaniment. A talentelloPHefitst plays at the mati- nees and each evening the music will be rendered by the well known musi- cians comprising the Elko orchestra. REX TODAY. Do you want to see Monroe Salis- bury, often referred to as the Mans- field of the screen, in the best role of his career? Do you want to see a photodrama produced on a large scale, with scenic effects that will cause you to marvel and admire? Do you want to see a photo-feature that will suggest the romance of jDumas, Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Louis Stevenson? 3 If you do, you cannot go wrong by attending the Rex theatre, where “The Phantom Melody,” a Universal production, is starring Monroe, Salis- bury. The scenes of “The Phantom,Mel- ka AND v Y 'S Filisuep - THoU ART WEsGH i i\ PounDs mfw Avoane WHE [‘!] Many ody,” are laid in modern Italy, prior| to, during and after'the recent war. While the war has nothing to do with the plot of the story, it serves as a hackground for some of the situa- tions, and throws its sinister rays -|across the motives of some of the characters in the tale. Monroe Salisbury, as an Italian nobleman, in love with his pretty Eng- lish ward, but who hesitates to speak his heart because of the difference in their ages, has one of those roles that give him every opportunity for ex- cellent character delineation. As the patrician county who gives up the girl he loves in favor of a younger|’ cousin, and hides his identity later to return in time to avenge the wrongs done him by the man he had befriended, and to win back his sweetheart, Salisbury proves the ver- satility that has made him a favorite in a dozen Universal productions. Splendid support is given to. the star by Barney Sherry, Jean Calhoun, Charles West, Ray Gallagher, Lois Letlal, Joseph Ray and Milton Mark- well. REX, THURSDAY. One of the most attractive photo- plays the Rex theatre has ever had, is announced for Thursday when William Farnum’s new de luxe pro- duction, “Rough and Ready,” takes the screen. Showings daily, at 2:30, and 7:20 and 9:00 o’clock. . . The supporting company surround- ing the distinguished William Fox star in this magnifitent feature is of unusual brilliance, and the direction by Richard Stanton 'is noteworthy. William Farnum, of course, is the favorite of everyone with any knowl- edge of “Who’s Who on Stage and Screen.” - Mr. Farnum is without a peer in hig field and has 'long been established as America’s most pepu- lar dramatic actor. ‘“Rough and Ready” fits him like the proverbial glove. Mr. Farnum’s leading lady is petite Violet Palmer, whom picturg enthusiasts will remember as the co- star in “The Blue Streak.” Others in the cast who have important roles are Alphonze Either, Jessie Arnold, David Higgins, Frank Newton, Mabel Bardine and Franklin McGlynn. Bill Stratton, whom Mr. Farnum portrays, is a man whose heart is as big and as clear as the great, cold Northland into which he goes to forget a lost love. 'He ¢omes to Yel- low Gulch, a rough mining settleme: perched in the snows, to rest from t| weariness of the trpil.’ S A trick of fate brings to the place the girl he loved back east, and whom' he never has forgot. Again Bill fights to win her—and he succeeds against odds and obstacles that would have daunted any less sturdy than he. In Bill Stratton, Mr. Farnum has found one of the finest and most ap- pealing characterizations he has yet had for the cinemas, and his work in thHe part is really superb. The| whole production is exceedingly well mounted and extremely well staged, so that the story is provided with an excellent background.

Just because he cannot use a piano to raise potatoes—there is no sort of | affiliation, apparently, between music and potato growing—the farmer re- fuses to pay as much for the piano as he will for a blind horse. Frank J. Corwin, the auctioneer, re- cel.ltly astonished the countryside when he got the farmers tumbling all over themselves to bid in a blind horse »t. $150 and loose hay for the sensational price of $75 a ton. He sort of reasoned that if a blind horse was worth that much a grand plano.that could make jazz music without much effort ought to bring around-$500. But the farmers fooled him this time. In spite of all his coaxing, in spite of all his ‘claims that Paderewskl would be glad-to have this instrument, it was knocked down for $2.50.
